Ryanair Gives Away Seats Again

Ryanair is at is again. If you’re going to be flying around Europe this winter, Ryanair is giving away a million of its seats for just 99 pence (that’s about $1.80). Really, though, the oddest part of this is that CEO Michael O’Leary said that the European low fare industry would be in for an airfare “bloodbath” this fall; odd that he is the one who is causing it. Even so, it’ll cost you less than $200 (plus tax) r/t to fly to London from NYC on a ticket from 1800flyeurope.com and $2 to continue on from there. What a bargain.
